Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sparked a debate on government efficiency and taxation, suggesting New York City’s services would falter under his company’s operational model. Billionaire Kevin O’Leary echoed these sentiments, calling the city a ‘disaster’ and warning against taxing the wealthy. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio criticized Bezos’ remarks as out of touch. Meanwhile, Bezos also dismissed fears of AI causing job losses, predicting a labor shortage instead.
